Linda D. Addison is a poet and writer of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. She’s also the first African-American winner of the Bram Stoker Award, presented by the Horror Writers Association. In fact, she has won the Bram Stoker Award multiple times, including a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Her most recent book—and for that matter, most recent Bram Stoker Award-winner—is The Place of Broken Things, a poetry collection she worked on with collaborator Alessandro Manzetti.

In this interview, Linda and I talk about some starting points to find great speculative and horror poetry, how winning so many wards impacts an author, and she offers some advice for those hoping to break in.
